brimmels@... escribió: Hi everybody.

I've never really talked about the products I make on this list but they're

sprays and body scrubs that incorporate not only

essential oils but color therapy. Why? Because I'm also a certified color

therapist and I like the benefits of the mixes. So my

ears always perk up when something interesting involving color is on TV, like

tonight when CBS Evening News announced the topics

for next week's Assignment America segment and one possible topic is a sheriff

who thinks the way to straighten out a convict is

make him dress in all pink. Needless to say, I want to hear his reasoning and

see if it matches color theory or if the guy is

doing something wacky.

So if people here could go to

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/20/eveningnews/main2110190.shtml and

click on the " think

pink " story, I'd REALLY appreciate it. You have to vote this weekend. They

announce the topic on Monday.

Thanks!

Pink's fabulous. In color therapy terms it represents unconditional love,

nurturing, compassion, etc. Since it's red with light added to it, it also deals

with red issues (survival, safety, etc.)

but in a softer, more gentle way. That's why I can understand the sheriff's

reasoning IF he's using color theory meanings. A lot of people do that

instinctively. People use color therapy every day

when they pick what clothes to wear. The blue power suit conveys that you are a

person of authority speaking the truth. We do all this without realizing it.

Your colors sound lovely. I think to make it perfect you would need to add a

deep dark royal looking red. Something made of red velvet would be nice.

Perhaps hand made eye pillows stuffed with your herbs. I think if you try to go

for lighter or brighter colors you will unknowingly bring back that 1960 to

1970's look.

Speaking from an artists point of view red will bring of the feeling of

lucksuallray.

I am wondering what feelings a rainbow color lettered logo will inspire. It

is a soap logo with my companies name. My Kawika told me that it represents

gay to him because of the rainbow flags that they have during the gay

festaivals in California.

I had thought the letters would inspire fun just like Toys " R " Us.

Does anyone know?

Color suggestions!

I am getting ready decorate our new store that is opening within a few weeks

so I need your color suggestions

from the wonderful bath and body list

The walls and ceiling are white, the floor is a sand color with a chocolate

rug with olive green and sand fern leaves. All trimmings are in gold.

The product line is white with gold.

I want to bring herbs into the 21st century and out of the notion that only

stinky dirty hippies sell herbs.

I also want to create a bright fresh CLEAN feeling to the store, so what

other accent colors do you all suggest?

WE have white ,sand, gold, chocolate, and the counter top in a green

marble..

So any suggestions?

OK, if you're asking me from a decorating standpoint, I'm not your woman,

especially since there can be so many variations of

green or even sage green.

But, if you're asking from a color therapy standpoint, I can say a lot.

Your gold trim is great. Metallic gold in feng shui terms represents wealth.

Gold as in rich yellow in color therapy represent

deep joy, wisdom and understanding/expressing your worth (your inner gold).

White is oneness, purity and it makes a great

backdrop for other colors so if you're using colorful products, the white walls

will show off the other colors without

distorting them. The sand and copper colors on your floors represent being

grounded, supported and stable. The green your

describing in your rug represents power tempered with love, intuition and

feminine leadership (great for someone wanting to

bring herbs to the 21st century). The green marble countertop represents

stability (the marble), prosperity (green marble) and

green is coming from the heart and having all the time and space you need.

Now as I said, from a decorator's standpoint, the next color suggestions may not

work but you might want to add a bit of red

and/or turquoise. Red in feng shui terms is prosperity (that's why so many

Chinese restaurants use red and gold). In color

therapy it's about feeling safe, secure and having all your needs met, including

financial. Turquoise is manifestation,

expressing from the heart and making your dreams come true. You can use any

shade of either color, so if a greeny turquoise

works best and you like the idea, go for it.

The product line being white with gold sounds good -- clean, attractive and

prosperity colors.

Yes, technically the gay activist movement uses rainbows but so does my

spiritual teacher (a married woman) in New Mexico and

color therapists will often sign off on notes with the phrase " rainbow

blessings. " It's not tied to one thing. I think a lot of

it depends upon how you use it. If you make it playful or cartoony, it'll

definitely come across as fun and maybe child

friendly.

Rainbows contain the colors of the spectrum so they've got lots of great energy.

No matter what you pick, anyone with a strong association with a color will

focus on that even if 95 percent of the public

doesn't. Don't sweat it.

I worked with several lesbians in the past and they do have alot of things

with the rainbow colors. I didn't even know what it stood for until I

worked with them. I'm sure there are lots of people who don't associate the

rainbow color as being gay.

Thanks Beth!!! for the great suggestions and explanation of colors.

That was so impressive. It looks like I did choose the right colors for the

rugs Yeah!

I think I will be leaning toward turquoise color as accents; I just want

people to feel safe,

appreciated, happy and healthy when they leave the store.

GRINNNNNNNNNNNN :-)

Sounds like you're doing a great job.

Yeah, I love working with color. People are AMAZED that by picking a couple of

colored bottles and putting them in a pattern, I

can tell them what's going on and how to get the best result. It's amazing. And

the sprays and oils are fabulous. The latter are

very hydrating. Color readings are my favorite type of session because it

doesn't feel like work.

Thanks everyone! The " Think Pink " story did run. They never officially

referenced to color theory except to say that other jails had

used pink to calm prisoners.

This sheriff had a different idea. He figured Texas men consider themselves

tough so they hate pink. He was targetting repeat

offender rates and it seems to work. He had a 31 percent repeat offender rate

before the pink. The next year it dropped to 3 percent

and this year so far it's 5 percent.

It still makes sense because pink is a nurturing color so while the prisoners

may consciously hate it, maybe it did help to mitigate

their tendency to get in trouble, since much of that is derives from not getting

something -- love, respect, physical needs met,

etc.

At the minimum it's an interesting story.

Thanks again!
